One more big city off the list! I have dreamt of seeing/touching/licking/sitting on Gaudi’s works since I remember. It was sooooo worth it, soooooo worth it! Barcelona is vibrant, charming, colourful and probably one of the best cures for autumn’s depression. Enjoy!

A conversation we had, sitting with a glass of Prosek and a sea view in the evening: M: I know this is actually asking a lot, and that it’s a long way, and we’ve been there twice already, and I photographed everything there was to

No more than 40 km away from Szczecin we found a piece of paradise. Actually, two pieces 😉 Włodkowice – an animal farm with deer, boars, rabbits, horses and goats. A place where we were given home-made cheese, fresh milk and eggs. A place where
